We should treat these drug cartels the same way we treat the terrorists! They are the same in the way they kill anyone without any concern to what God has in store for them!

Just another example, people, that eternity is only a heartbeat away. Do you think these people ever thought they would be murdered while in Mexico? No.
This is why you MUST have a relationship with the almighty and JC. No one knows when their time here on earth will end.

The escalating violence in Mexico is a good indication of what could happen here if our borders are not secured. When are our politicians going to understand that we need to shut our borders down and put a system in place that allows only good, hard-working people come with proper identification, a deadline to leave when their time is up, and only allow them to come when the jobs are available? I'm an independent, I do not belong to the Tea Party or the Coffee Party. But, it's time we cleaned house in Congress (of both parties) and elected people who will listen to us.

Our police forces are being laid off left and right because of no money and our president is spending 10 million dollars a day on commercials for his health care bill when does common since set in we need border control and home security not commercials for something nobody wants .

This planned destruction of US consulate workers is clearly a signal to the US State Dept. in likely retaliation for an alleged horrific wrong doing done by the US State Dept. to one or more Mexican citizens.

What is entirely missing in this sad episode of events is the triggering event which pushed the Drug Cartels to execute this couple. I wouldn't be surprised if the triggering event by the US State Dept. wasn't even more horrific and destructive.

American news media will likely never be told nor unearth what led to the execution of the US consulate workers leaving the media viewers far less than informed.

if we'd treat these drug dealers and gang bangers like terrorist and send our militray in to get them in a week or two this drug crap and drive by shootings would be a thing of the past .
theres good money in drugs and if kids wanna join these gangs and these growers wanna keep doing what they do then they really shouldn't have any rights and this crap would stop fast and save the taxpayer in the u.s billions a year in d.e.a and help stop all the crime in these big cities as well .
but everyone in washington wants to throw more money at something we've been fightning for what 25 years now with this war on drugs either get tough or make it all legal mr. obama do something besides push for a healthcare bill thats unfair and full of backroom deals
